TED Cruz explodes the “Mafioso” tactic for the FCC chair to the Kimmel seat

Cruz, Chairman of the Trump Administration Trade and Defense Committee, moved to the podcast following Kimmil’s suspension for an unspecified period this week to describe Car’s actions as “dangerous”.

Car earlier this week implicit on another podcast that ABC may face dire consequences of the government due to Kimmil’s statements about the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kerk. Just hours later, ABC pulled Kimmel.

Cruz said he did not believe that the government should punish media companies for political differences.

“I love Brendan Car, he is a good man,” said Cruz in Podcast, who was late on Thursday. “But what he said there is dangerous like hell.”

“This is true” goodfellas “, this is correct from Maviuu.” If the government begins to say, “we do not like what the media said, we will prohibit you from the ether waves if we do not say what we love,” said Cruz, using the famous New York tone associated with the mafia.

Throughout the podcast, Cruz emphasized that it does not agree with Kimmel’s comments, which was called “reprehensible”. But he said that the case of defamation would be a better approach than Car’s intervention.

“It might seem good now to threaten Jimmy Kimmel, but if he is used to silence everyone in America, we will regret it,” Cruz said. “I love Brendan Car, but we should not be in this work.”

Trump unacceptable Cruz’s criticism of FCC chair.

“I think Brendan Car is a wonderful American national. So I don’t agree with Ted Cruz,” Trump told reporters later on Friday during an event at the Oval Office.

Cruz and Kimmel have their history.

The American Senator challenged Kimmel to a Individual basketball game After the comedy mocked his appearance during a show. Kimmel accepted, with the revenues of the 2018 event chosen by the two men.

In a short interview in the Capitol in the United States on Friday, Cruz indicated that FCC falls under the jurisdiction of his committee even while pingling the other side.

“When the Democrats were a majority who did not participate in censorship,” he said. “We will do our work and participate in censorship.”

Republican Senator Tom Telese, the moderate who is not nominated for his re -election in the swinging state of North Carolina, praised Cruz to take a position on what was called “unacceptable” behavior on the administration.

“Cruz has shown a lot of courage, and it will be on the right side of history and it is definitely on the right side of the law,” said Teleis.

Most Republican lawmakers, including the majority leader of the Senate John Thun, spent days that Disney made her financial decision by hanging Kimmil and refusing to criticize Car. Car said that the company made its own decision, but said that there would be more changes to the upcoming media ecosystem.

Democrats said that Carr violated the first amendment and called on the Republicans to retreat.

“The Republican Senators should not want to see the Federal Communications Committee (FCC), which can pursue conservative commentators by some future administration,” said Senator Adam Chef from California.
